Just Add Ink #355 - Just Add a Sketch

Our fabulous sketch designer, Narelle, has given us a terrific challenge to kick off the Easter long weekend over at Just Add Ink. I hope you've all put aside time for crafting. I certainly plan to get inky today while most of my family is away four wheel driving/off road camping in the Victorian high country. Unfortunately Gorgeous Kid is at home unwell this Easter weekend :(

I used my Shooting Star stamps, and matching Framelits to make this spinner card which until this week hadn't seen ink! I'm thinking I should 'shop my own stash' and work through all of my stamps from A to Z in a quest to use them!

This was also my first use of the Serene Scenery dsp - gasp. I thought this particular design looked like a night sky, so I added the sweet shooting star which spins around and around - lots of fun to play with.

To enhance the night sky look I added lots of shimmer which was hard to photograph - I think it shows better in this close up.

Pop over to JAI and get inspired with all the lovely design team inspiration. I hope to see lots of you getting busy this long weekend and uploading your creations to share with us. Here is the sketch.

As mentioned above it's a nice quiet weekend in my house and I've got a few lazy plans - reading, crafting, catching up on some tv shows I haven't had time for lately, enjoying the peace and tranquility....I'm all set with hot cross buns and a little chocolate too. Wishing you all a wonderful Easter!

Thanks for stopping by today, and if you have any questions on how I created this spinner card please leave a comment or email me and I'll be happy to share how it came together.

Such a cute and fun card P! I love how you've used the DSP for the background and the shiny stars look amazing! I have this set but haven't used it as much as intended...shopping the stash sounds like a very good idea for me to do too :-) xx
